Common Filing Tasks

Filing Receive-only Sites under an Existing Call Sign in the TV Pickup Radio Service (TP)

Broadcast Auxiliary Service (BAS) TV Pickup Radio Service (TP) licensees that wish to identify their receive-only sites (RO sites) on ULS may do so by filing an application on FCC Form 601(Main Form and Schedule I) to modify an existing authorization in the TP radio service. A separate modification application is necessary for each TP license, and RO site data filed on ULS will not expand a BAS operator’s right to protection or coordination under the Commission’s Rules. See related release (pdf).
